It's no secret that I'm Team Apple. I've been an Apple sheep for over a decade. I currently have the iPhone 8+ in silver with 64GB. I love my freakin phone. It's just so...pretty. But I do like to dress it up every now and again. Here are all the cases I have for my electronic baby.

From looking at these pictures, you can tell a few things: I love unicorns and purple. Like...to death. I am a grown ass adult that like unicorns. I'm not ashamed.

I've purchased most of these cases from Amazon. You can check out one of the unicorn cases here - the larger more obnoxious one doesn't seem to be available anymore.

I'm a big fan of Spigen cases. I buy at least one for every phone I have. The two black ones can be found here and here. If you're looking for a case that you can run out of the house with your keys, cards, and phone, I recommend the wristlet case.

I got this wonderful set of ten clear bumpered cases for a mere $14. I like these cause they're versatile and fun to switch out the colors whenever you feel like it.

You can also see that I'm a big fan of Pop Sockets. I'm terrified of dropping my phone (some cases can be so damn slippery), so these work wonders for me. My fave is the anatomically correct heart one on my clear black bumper case. It looks so cool.

My mom says I don't need anymore phone cases. She's probably right. Since most likely I'm going to snatch up one of the new iPhones come September. With that ten pack, I should be good. But I just love pretty cases.

What phone do you have and what kind of cases do you have for it?

Prada Candy Perfume
This is one of my favorite scents of all time. I'm pretty sure this is my third or fifth bottle of this stuff. The scent is soft, musky, and elegant. Not too sweet or tweenish, but just right. And it stays on you all day.

DKNY Red
This perfume brings back memories of my early twenties. I've loved it ever since. A beautiful and soft red apple scent, it's one of my favorite DKNY fragrances. I'm pretty sure it's discontinued, which sucks. It seems like all my favorite scents are being taken off the market. Wah.

Post On It: N/A.Will I Repurchase?: Yes (if I can find it =/).

Soap And Glory Body Mist
So many perfumes in this one. I love the fact that Soap & Glory came to America. This is a "barely there" mist that just gives you a hint of fresh scent.

Soap And Glory The Righteous Butter Body Lotion
Love how soft and rosy this smells. It's also great for right now, being that it's a million degrees outside it's light weight and doesn't make you feel greasy.

Smith’s Rosebud Salve Minted Rose Lip Balm
Been using this for years, and I will never stop. It's such an awesome multi-use product. I use it mostly for my lips, but if I get a cut or burn, it's great with the healing process.

Clean And Clear Morning Burst Facial Wash
I'm not too picky about my facial wash. As long as it doesn't irritate me, it's okay in my book. As far as the "energy boosting" this wash claims, I haven't felt much of that. But then again, I'm gonna hate getting up in the morning no matter what's bursting onto my face (gigiddy).

We should all know by now that I'm obsessed with wearing anything black. Unfortunately though, most of the black polishes that I was using had gotten old and goopy. In comes Essie's Haute Tub. This kinda-sorta black is deceiving though. In the bottle it looks like you're going to get pink, green, and silver color shifting glitters. But once you brush it on a nail, it mainly just black. The glitter is barely visible. This is somewhat disappointing, because the color from the bottle looks really unique and I was excited for it. But I can never have too many black nail polishes, so I got over that quickly.

I’m about to be thirty years old. Yes, I said it. And I’m not ashamed, cause I still look damn good. But throughout all the years of me being on earth, I’ve learned some stuff. Here’s 29 things I’ve learned by 29.

Many things in this world are beyond my control.

I am very self aware.

Being in therapy does not make you week...it shows your strength and willingness to be vulnerable.

More people SHOULD be seeing therapists - they could use the help.

You can only change someone if they're willing to change.

I am worth way more than I give myself credit for sometimes.

You should care what people have to say about you - (some) critisim can lead to growth and change.

Not everyone is worth space, time, and energy in my life.

Change can happen at any point of your life, as long as you're willing to make the change,.

I am way too critical of myself.

I need to work on myself before I decide to find a significant other - I want know to me before I bring someone into the chaos that is Monica.

I strive the most when it comes to structure, but don't get on well with things that are loosely planned and all over the place.

I hold serious grudges. I do not forgive, and I damn sure don't forget.

I am not broken - I'm a work in progress.

Animals are better than humans. End of story.

Do not let other people bring to down into their river of misery. You already have hardships in this world, there's no need to bring in other people's nonsense into your universe.

Change can be good. Don't let it scare you.

It's nice to be nice.

Ignoring someone who is clearly your enemy can upset them 1000% more than engaging in an argument with them.

Despite humanity going to hell in a hand basket, there ARE still good people in this world.

Cats are the most amazing pets to have. They're like mini humans with all their charisma and shadiness.

I've just recently become more...social. I've low self esteem for a lot of my life, but now I feel better about myself and I'm less socially awkward.

I really need to travel. I've never left the country and I've only been to the states in the tristate area.

Don't toss the word "love" around. Only certain people can get that from me. Like a slutty vagina or penis, it loses all of its worth if you use it too much.

I do not want to take pills for the rest of my life. I'm really trying to find alternative (and safe) ways to cope with my problems.

Pete Wentz has bipolar disorder, and attempted suicide a few years back. Did not find that out til recently. See? Your idols are human and they go through human things. I'm glad you're still with us Mr. Wentz.

I fucking love concerts.

I want to make my body healthy and ready for when I get older. I should start now and clean up my diet/lifestyle.
